Among the themes Mayes explores are how her experience of Tuscany dramatically expanded when she renovated and became a part-time resident of a 13th century house with a stone roofin the mountains above Cortona, how life in the mountains introduced her to a "wilder" side of Tuscany--and with it a lively engagement with Tuscany's mountain people. Throughout, she reveals the concrete joys of life in her adopted hill town, with particular attention tolife in the piazza, the art of Luca Signorelli (Renaissance painter from Cortona), and the pastoral pleasures of feasting from her garden.Moving always toward a deeper engagement, Mayes writes of Tuscan icons thathave become for her storehouses of memory, of crucible moments from which bigger ideas emerged, andof the writing life she has enjoyed in the room where Under the Tuscan Sun began. 520 $a With more on the pleasures of life at Bramasole, the delights and challenges of living in Italy day-to-day and favorite recipes, Every Day in Tuscany is a passionate and inviting account of the richness and complexity of Italian life." 650 $a Cookery, Italian. 650 $a Mayes, Frances. 650 $a Tuscany (Italy) $x Social life and customs. 650 $a Tuscany (Italy) $x Description and travel. 008 s2010 941 $a 1 952 $l REPC017 $d 20220407014458.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=35EF7574B63811EC99599F991FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
